Firewood can be used when its moisture content is below 20 %. Never use floating trees as they are usually very salty and can damage the stove. Impregnated, painted wood or particle board emit toxic fumes and vapours and should not be used. Pine and similar resinous woods give off poisonous gases when burnt and should not be used for cooking. The stove may make a cracking noise when heating and cooling due to the large temperature difference to which the material is exposed. Baking pizzasFor pizzas, the stone has to be very hot and the flames have to &#8220;live&#8221; inside the oven. It is recommended to follow the description of the ignition and firing technique to get the stones well heated. To reach the flame ceiling, spread the embers 2\/3 of the way around the edge of the stove and regularly refill with thin, finely chopped dry sticks. After a few minutes, the wood will ignite. Depending on the weather conditions and the amount of fuel, the pizza oven can be ready in 30-60 minutes. The optimum temperature for the baking stone should be between 250 and 300 \u00b0C and for the oven dome above 500 \u00b0C. When the oven is ready, wipe the middle Mors\u00f8 ash tool. Any loose ash particles can be blown out with a blower. Place the pizza directly on the end stones and turn regularly to ensure even cooking. In a few minutes you will have a delicious, crispy pizza.","og_url":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/learn-how-to-start-a-fire-or-make-a-fire-in-morso-forno\/","og_site_name":"MORSO Baltic","article_modified_time":"2026-03-29T08:44:04+00:00","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/learn-how-to-start-a-fire-or-make-a-fire-in-morso-forno\/","url":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/learn-how-to-start-a-fire-or-make-a-fire-in-morso-forno\/","name":"Learn how to start a fire or make a fire in Mors\u00f8 Forno - MORSO Baltic","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/#website"},"datePublished":"2026-03-01T19:24:16+00:00","dateModified":"2026-03-29T08:44:04+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/learn-how-to-start-a-fire-or-make-a-fire-in-morso-forno\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/learn-how-to-start-a-fire-or-make-a-fire-in-morso-forno\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/learn-how-to-start-a-fire-or-make-a-fire-in-morso-forno\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Learn how to start a fire or make a fire in Mors\u00f8 Forno"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/#website","url":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/","name":"MORSO Baltic","description":"","alternateName":"MORSOBALTIC","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7516"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8208,"href":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7516\/revisions\/8208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/morsobaltic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
